CURRENT MISSION

Living and working in Berlin, but never too settled to turn down an adventure.

ABOUT ME

Been in Germany two and a half years, the longest amount of time I've spent in one place in my adult life but still enjoy the challenge of feeling like a fish out of water.

PHILOSOPHY

"El perico es verde, donde sea"

I am thankful to all the amazing people who have invited me into their homes and let me take a peak into their lives through couchsurfing. I now live in a shared house of 12 flatmates, and am grateful to have a welcoming home to pay it forward.

Interests

Language, music that reminds you of a time or place, ants, color blindness, people who constructed dinosaur skeletons in entirely the wrong order, bio mechanics, homosexual animals, dancing the tango, blankies, running into the same person in more than one city, finding a good long haul bus companion, the feeling of salty hair, falling asleep in the sand, when somebody remembers something about you that you had forgotten.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked from Prince Edward Island to Newfoundland carrying a dead lobster in a plastic bag. A driver had given it to me as a kind gesture, after leaving his estranged father's funeral in Charlottetown, where he had discovered his family were lobster fishermen. He gave it to me to eat, which I finally did on the ferry from Sydney to St John's after a day an a half of carrying it with me, on countless rides. Luckily it was the middle of summer, and many of the rides were on their way to various camping destinations, with coolers in tow -where I was able to put my lobster on ice during the ride. I wouldn't call it 'amazing' per se, but it was pretty memorable, that's for sure.

Teach, Learn, Share

A stranger once told me "sometimes you have to give up really good, to find amazing." I still hate to say goodbye when I am traveling, but this makes it easier to know some other great thing is just around the bend.

What I Can Share with Hosts

stories, beers, black tea with milk and home made pierogi :)
